- Diagnose where searches are breaking down and fix them quickly
- Partner with hiring managers to define candidate profiles, calibrate quality, and move candidates through the process
- Create repeatable sourcing motions for roles we expect to hire again
- Improve recruiting quality, speed, and consistency through data and iteration
- Help reduce dependency on agencies by building strong internal pipeline generation

- You can create outbound campaigns that drive strong positive reply rates
- You use funnel data to diagnose and fix recruiting problems

About the Company
- Magical is building agentic AI for healthcare operations.
- Healthcare is still powered by too much manual work: teams clicking through portals, moving data between systems, chasing claims, checking eligibility, and doing work that software should be able to do.
- Magical automates complex workflows across browser and desktop apps, even when APIs do not exist.
- We help healthcare organizations move faster, reduce operational burden, and improve outcomes for patients.
- We are growing quickly across engineering, product, deployment, sales, and operations.
- Magical is a builder-led company.
- We value people who are direct, thoughtful, ambitious, and deeply hands-on.
- We move quickly and expect people to operate with autonomy.
- This role will work closely with founders and hiring managers, so we are looking for someone who is energized by ownership, speed, and accountability.
- We are hybrid in Toronto, with an office near St. Lawrence Market.
- We encourage in-person collaboration, especially for cross-functional work, but we are not rigid about specific office days.
